When the new Vetting and Barring scheme comes in, you will just need to be checked once and the form will travel with you and be updated. Also this will be at a reduced rate for Volunteers
The vetting and barring scheme is actually required on top of the CRB check as it checks other things so you will need both although the Vetting and Barring scheme does only have to be paid for once, I think its £64 for paid staff. Sorry
What is the difference between the service offered by the ISA and the CRB?
1. The ISA will prevent the most unsuitable people from working with children and vulnerable adults by making it a legal requirement for everyone who is working with children or the vulnerable to be registered with the ISA.
2. The CRB will continue to support employers by providing them with access to an individual’s full criminal record and other information so that they can assess the individual’s suitability for the particular post or position.
